Center for Maritime Security – Last week, a bipartisan, bicameral group of Congress members released a document outlining their vision for a U.S. National Maritime Strategy to “reverse the decline of American maritime power and our susceptibility to coercion from strategic competitors on the world’s oceans.” Their effort is a welcome first step and an important signal of bipartisan Congressional backing for a major effort to revitalize America’s maritime industry and maritime national security; however, much more work remains to be done by both the legislative and executive branches.
